It’s such a privilege, and so much fun, to photograph weddings for friends. Though it had been quite a few years since Andrew and I had seen each other, our history of playing soccer together at Agoura High School made the job of photographing his marriage to Michelle that much more special.

Michelle and Andrew prepared for their wedding at the amazing Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara, California, where we also photographed the bridal party.

The wedding ceremony took place at an equally breathtaking private residence, with an ocean view, in the exclusive Hope Ranch neighborhood, on Santa Barbara’s mesa.

For the reception, we jumped over to the nearby Events by Stella Mare’s, where Michelle, Andrew, their family and friends had a great time partying on the dance floor and enjoying excellent food.

Michelle and Andrew, thanks again for the honor of photographing your wedding. I wish you both many years of happiness, health and blessings!

I was so excited when my friends Pat and Elizabeth asked me to create portraits of their baby girl and the three of them together.

Pat and I were roommates in college at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara and I photographed Pat and Elizabeth’s beautiful wedding in Monterey.

It’s been so cool to be a part of these major milestones in their lives.

Reanna and Elliot had a charming, unique, and beautiful green wedding in Santa Barbara, California at Godric Grove inside of Elings Park (where I played soccer while attending Brooks Institute of Photography). In addition to their vintage and recycled wedding rings, and biodegradable utensils, Reanna and Elliot bought carbon credits to offset their guests’ travel.

There were so many great, personal touches, like the amazing peacock feathered birdcage veil and boutonniere that Reanna made! Her beautiful bouquet and shoes really brought it all together.

I love this Senior Portrait Session! It was such a great day at a beautiful location with an awesome high school senior. Kaytlyn loves the beach and wanted to do the shoot around her house. And, it worked out great since she lives on the beach. Kaytlyn even brought out her guitar and got some really great portraits with it. Adam has an obsession with clouds and one of his favorite shots ever had his glorious clouds in them. Such a perfect day!
